‘Forgotten Names. Unforgettable Flavors’: New Whiskey Brand Pays Homage to Female Distilling Pioneers

Alias Straight Rye Whiskey.

The new Alias Straight Rye Whiskey from Luxco pays tribute to our country’s early female distilling pioneers. The name Alius is an homage to the many who had to use their initials to hide their gender in order to own and operate distilleries.

The bottle features a bold, black bottle and black label with a contrasting white logo and the slogan: “Forgotten Names. Unforgettable Flavors.”

Win a Distiller Course

To celebrate the launch of Alias Straight Rye Whiskey, Luxco will conduct a write-in contest to win a six-day, travel-expenses-paid distiller course at Moonshine University.

Consumers 21 and older can simply visit the Alias website and respond in 10 words or less to the contest question: “What does a scholarship to Moonshine University mean to you?” Contest entries will be accepted between May 2 and August 30, 2022.
